Why Pin The Ears Back?
Many people are surprised the difference an otoplasty can make to a patient’s facial profile. Pinning the ears back gives the head a proportional shape. Many times, otoplasty is performed on teenagers & young adults. As these young patients grow into their adult bodies, surgical correction of the ears & earlobes may be desired. An otoplasty procedure quickly corrects what many people believe to be an undesirable facial feature
Otoplasty Recovery
An otoplasty is a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia and around 2-4 weeks downtime, with most of the swelling dissipating after the first 72 hours and full comfort returning within around 2 weeks, which you can also read more at realself.com. This procedure is also often done under local sedation in teenagers and adults and general anesthesia in children. Dr. Alspaugh will also give you post-operation instructions to follow closely.
Dr. Alspaugh has done numerous otoplasty procedures over the past few decades and as a highly rated doctor on realself.com, he is highly trusted and respected with any facial surgery need.
